App

Represents a cdk8s application.

Initializers

import cdk8s

cdk8s.App(
  outdir: str = None,
  output_file_extension: str = None,

The directory to output Kubernetes manifests.

If you synthesize your application using cdk8s synth, you must also pass this value to the CLI using the --output option or the output property in the cdk8s.yaml configuration file. Otherwise, the CLI will not know about the output directory, and synthesis will fail.

This property is intended for internal and testing use.


output_file_extensionOptional

  • Default: .k8s.yaml

The file extension to use for rendered YAML files.


record_construct_metadataOptional
  • Type: bool
  • Default: false

resolversOptional
  • Type: typing.List[IResolver]
  • Default: no resolvers.

A list of resolvers that can be used to replace property values before they are written to the manifest file.

When multiple resolvers are passed, they are invoked by order in the list, and only the first one that applies (e.g calls context.replaceValue) is invoked.

labels typing.Mapping[str] Labels to apply to all resources in this chart.
namespace str The default namespace for all objects defined in this chart (directly or indirectly).

scopeRequired
  • Type: constructs.Construct

idRequired
  • Type: str

disable_resource_name_hashesOptional
  • Type: bool
  • Default: false

The autogenerated resource name by default is suffixed with a stable hash of the construct path.

Setting this property to true drops the hash suffix.


labelsOptional
  • Type: typing.Mapping[str]
  • Default: no common labels

Labels to apply to all resources in this chart.


namespaceOptional
  • Type: str
  • Default: no namespace is synthesized (usually this implies “default”)

The default namespace for all objects defined in this chart (directly or indirectly).

This namespace will only apply to objects that don’t have a namespace explicitly defined for them.


Methods

Name Description
to_string Returns a string representation of this construct.
add_dependency Create a dependency between this Chart and other constructs.
generate_object_name Generates a app-unique name for an object given it’s construct node path.
to_json Renders this chart to a set of Kubernetes JSON resources.

generate_object_name
def generate_object_name(
  api_object: ApiObject
) -> str

Generates a app-unique name for an object given it’s construct node path.

Different resource types may have different constraints on names (metadata.name). The previous version of the name generator was compatible with DNS_SUBDOMAIN but not with DNS_LABEL.

For example, Deployment names must comply with DNS_SUBDOMAIN while Service names must comply with DNS_LABEL.

Since there is no formal specification for this, the default name generation scheme for kubernetes objects in cdk8s was changed to DNS_LABEL, since it’s the common denominator for all kubernetes resources (supposedly).

You can override this method if you wish to customize object names at the chart level.

api_objectRequired

Structs

ApiObjectMetadata

Metadata associated with this object.

Initializer

import cdk8s

cdk8s.ApiObjectMetadata(
  annotations: typing.Mapping[str] = None,
  finalizers: typing.List[str] = None,
  labels: typing.Mapping[str] = None,
  name: str = None,
  namespace: str = None,
  owner_references: typing.List[OwnerReference] = None
)

Properties

Name Type Description
annotations typing.Mapping[str] Annotations is an unstructured key value map stored with a resource that may be set by external tools to store and retrieve arbitrary metadata.
finalizers typing.List[str] Namespaced keys that tell Kubernetes to wait until specific conditions are met before it fully deletes resources marked for deletion.
labels typing.Mapping[str] Map of string keys and values that can be used to organize and categorize (scope and select) objects.
name str The unique, namespace-global, name of this object inside the Kubernetes cluster.
namespace str Namespace defines the space within each name must be unique.
owner_references typing.List[OwnerReference] List of objects depended by this object.

annotationsOptional
annotations: typing.Mapping[str]
  • Type: typing.Mapping[str]
  • Default: No annotations.

Annotations is an unstructured key value map stored with a resource that may be set by external tools to store and retrieve arbitrary metadata.

They are not queryable and should be preserved when modifying objects.

http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/annotations


finalizersOptional
finalizers: typing.List[str]
  • Type: typing.List[str]
  • Default: No finalizers.

Namespaced keys that tell Kubernetes to wait until specific conditions are met before it fully deletes resources marked for deletion.

Must be empty before the object is deleted from the registry. Each entry is an identifier for the responsible component that will remove the entry from the list. If the deletionTimestamp of the object is non-nil, entries in this list can only be removed. Finalizers may be processed and removed in any order. Order is NOT enforced because it introduces significant risk of stuck finalizers. finalizers is a shared field, any actor with permission can reorder it. If the finalizer list is processed in order, then this can lead to a situation in which the component responsible for the first finalizer in the list is waiting for a signal (field value, external system, or other) produced by a component responsible for a finalizer later in the list, resulting in a deadlock. Without enforced ordering finalizers are free to order amongst themselves and are not vulnerable to ordering changes in the list.

https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/finalizers/


labelsOptional
labels: typing.Mapping[str]
  • Type: typing.Mapping[str]
  • Default: No labels.

Map of string keys and values that can be used to organize and categorize (scope and select) objects.

May match selectors of replication controllers and services.

http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/labels


nameOptional
name: str
  • Type: str
  • Default: an app-unique name generated by the chart

The unique, namespace-global, name of this object inside the Kubernetes cluster.

Normally, you shouldn’t specify names for objects and let the CDK generate a name for you that is application-unique. The names CDK generates are composed from the construct path components, separated by dots and a suffix that is based on a hash of the entire path, to ensure uniqueness.

You can supply custom name allocation logic by overriding the chart.generateObjectName method.

If you use an explicit name here, bear in mind that this reduces the composability of your construct because it won’t be possible to include more than one instance in any app. Therefore it is highly recommended to leave this unspecified.


namespaceOptional
namespace: str
  • Type: str
  • Default: undefined (will be assigned to the ‘default’ namespace)

Namespace defines the space within each name must be unique.

An empty namespace is equivalent to the “default” namespace, but “default” is the canonical representation. Not all objects are required to be scoped to a namespace - the value of this field for those objects will be empty. Must be a DNS_LABEL. Cannot be updated. More info: http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/namespaces


owner_referencesOptional
owner_references: typing.List[OwnerReference]
  • Type: typing.List[OwnerReference]
  • Default: automatically set by Kubernetes

List of objects depended by this object.

If ALL objects in the list have been deleted, this object will be garbage collected. If this object is managed by a controller, then an entry in this list will point to this controller, with the controller field set to true. There cannot be more than one managing controller.

Kubernetes sets the value of this field automatically for objects that are dependents of other objects like ReplicaSets, DaemonSets, Deployments, Jobs and CronJobs, and ReplicationControllers. You can also configure these relationships manually by changing the value of this field. However, you usually don’t need to and can allow Kubernetes to automatically manage the relationships.

Classes

ApiObjectMetadataDefinition

Object metadata.

Initializers

import cdk8s

cdk8s.ApiObjectMetadataDefinition(
  annotations: typing.Mapping[str] = None,
  finalizers: typing.List[str] = None,
  labels: typing.Mapping[str] = None,
  name: str = None,
  namespace: str = None,
  owner_references: typing.List[OwnerReference] = None,
  api_object: ApiObject
)
Name Type Description
annotations typing.Mapping[str] Annotations is an unstructured key value map stored with a resource that may be set by external tools to store and retrieve arbitrary metadata.
finalizers typing.List[str] Namespaced keys that tell Kubernetes to wait until specific conditions are met before it fully deletes resources marked for deletion.
labels typing.Mapping[str] Map of string keys and values that can be used to organize and categorize (scope and select) objects.
name str The unique, namespace-global, name of this object inside the Kubernetes cluster.
namespace str Namespace defines the space within each name must be unique.
owner_references typing.List[OwnerReference] List of objects depended by this object.
api_object ApiObject Which ApiObject instance is the metadata attached to.

annotationsOptional
  • Type: typing.Mapping[str]
  • Default: No annotations.

Annotations is an unstructured key value map stored with a resource that may be set by external tools to store and retrieve arbitrary metadata.

They are not queryable and should be preserved when modifying objects.

http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/annotations


finalizersOptional
  • Type: typing.List[str]
  • Default: No finalizers.

Namespaced keys that tell Kubernetes to wait until specific conditions are met before it fully deletes resources marked for deletion.

Must be empty before the object is deleted from the registry. Each entry is an identifier for the responsible component that will remove the entry from the list. If the deletionTimestamp of the object is non-nil, entries in this list can only be removed. Finalizers may be processed and removed in any order. Order is NOT enforced because it introduces significant risk of stuck finalizers. finalizers is a shared field, any actor with permission can reorder it. If the finalizer list is processed in order, then this can lead to a situation in which the component responsible for the first finalizer in the list is waiting for a signal (field value, external system, or other) produced by a component responsible for a finalizer later in the list, resulting in a deadlock. Without enforced ordering finalizers are free to order amongst themselves and are not vulnerable to ordering changes in the list.

https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/finalizers/


labelsOptional
  • Type: typing.Mapping[str]
  • Default: No labels.

Map of string keys and values that can be used to organize and categorize (scope and select) objects.

May match selectors of replication controllers and services.

http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/labels


nameOptional
  • Type: str
  • Default: an app-unique name generated by the chart

The unique, namespace-global, name of this object inside the Kubernetes cluster.

Normally, you shouldn’t specify names for objects and let the CDK generate a name for you that is application-unique. The names CDK generates are composed from the construct path components, separated by dots and a suffix that is based on a hash of the entire path, to ensure uniqueness.

You can supply custom name allocation logic by overriding the chart.generateObjectName method.

If you use an explicit name here, bear in mind that this reduces the composability of your construct because it won’t be possible to include more than one instance in any app. Therefore it is highly recommended to leave this unspecified.


namespaceOptional
  • Type: str
  • Default: undefined (will be assigned to the ‘default’ namespace)

Namespace defines the space within each name must be unique.

An empty namespace is equivalent to the “default” namespace, but “default” is the canonical representation. Not all objects are required to be scoped to a namespace - the value of this field for those objects will be empty. Must be a DNS_LABEL. Cannot be updated. More info: http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/namespaces


owner_referencesOptional
  • Type: typing.List[OwnerReference]
  • Default: automatically set by Kubernetes

List of objects depended by this object.

If ALL objects in the list have been deleted, this object will be garbage collected. If this object is managed by a controller, then an entry in this list will point to this controller, with the controller field set to true. There cannot be more than one managing controller.

Kubernetes sets the value of this field automatically for objects that are dependents of other objects like ReplicaSets, DaemonSets, Deployments, Jobs and CronJobs, and ReplicationControllers. You can also configure these relationships manually by changing the value of this field. However, you usually don’t need to and can allow Kubernetes to automatically manage the relationships.

Utility for applying RFC-6902 JSON-Patch to a document.

Use the the JsonPatch.apply(doc, ...ops) function to apply a set of operations to a JSON document and return the result.

Operations can be created using the factory methods JsonPatch.add(), JsonPatch.remove(), etc.

Example

# Example automatically generated from non-compiling source. May contain errors.
output = JsonPatch.apply(input,
    JsonPatch.replace("/world/hi/there", "goodbye"),
    JsonPatch.add("/world/foo/", "boom"),
    JsonPatch.remove("/hello"))
